No problem with the animals. Where I live we have Racoons too, but if the fish is a foot below the surface, it's not a big deal.
Yeah I use manure too, but it really isn't the same in terms of nutrients being added to the soil. They are both good, but the fish will bring a lot of trace minerals that manure doesn't. Fish emulsion and kelp are some of the best products for the garden. If it's buried properly there is no smell. Maybe where you live it's a bigger problem with the animals.
